Fountains of lava burst from Hawaii volcano crater

Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, began erupting on Hawaii's Big Island Wednesday. 

The eruption is not in an area with homes and is entirely contained within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.  Officials say increased earthquake activity and ground swelling before the eruption put them on high alert. 

The area has filled with molten rock, creating a lake of lava in the summit crater.  Kilauea had a major eruption in 2018 that destroyed scores of homes and displaced thousands of residents.
